Blizzard in N Central Texas!

[TillerofdaEarth]

I am 20 miles NW of Fort Worth and Boy Howdy, have we gotten some snow!

We have had snow before, but not like this. It is heavy, wet and slushy all in one.

Has been snowing about 4 Hrs., have 7 to 8 inches of accumulation and still falling.

I was out driving and the roads are just terrible. The density of this stuff made it almost impossible to get around.

I am just hoping the power stays on!!

Well it kept going and hit eastern Ok today too. We have gotten more snow in march than we got all winter. It will be gone in a day or two though.

I know things are big in Texas but that is not 7-8 inches of snow.

Hiya,

Sorry, not impressed. The wagon is not buried, the snow isn't up to the roof of the shed, that's called "a dusting"

Call us here in NH and Me when you get another 11 or so feet, the snow sympathy meter is not off the zero peg for 7 inches.

I'll trade you your snow for the rain we are scheduled to get, 2 or 3 inches of rain on top of 3 to 5 feet of snow pack is gonna make for a lot of water down stream.

Tom

Here's a photo of my place when I got home last night. We had 8". It took me 4 hours to drive home from Addison to Denton. What a mess!

I agree looking at Tiller's pictures, but those shots may have been shot before the full total fell. The TV said there was 9" in Springtown and I had about 5-6" here. I found that my driveway was completely hidden in the middle of the storm, but melted clear a few hours later because of all the heat still in the gravel.

I was stuck on the highway for 3-1/2 hours. Most of it was due to a Fed-Ex truck that was "Dead-Ex" across the highway blocking both lanes and spinning his tires trying to get traction. I finally made it around him on the shoulder of the road. Our snow-challenged Texans were sadly in the medians and ditches everywhere. All major highways in Wise County were shut down yesterday afternoon. On southbound 287 in Decatur, going up the grade over Hwy 380, there were at least 100 cars and trucks "parked" when I went northbound. What a mess! We were totally unprepared for this storm that came so quickly and dumped so much snow on us. I'm on dialup today because something has knocked my high-speed line-of-sight wireless off the line.

Here is a picture of my tractor with about 4" of snow. I'll look at Gordon's picture as soon as I get high speed back.

There are two cars in this photo!

Around here that would be called partly cloudy.

C'mon, Egon. You haul out that picture every year!
